Climate change survey
Australian superannuation funds are to be measured on how they deal with climate change.
The Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST) and the Climate Institute have launched a survey to determine how funds are managing or plan to manage the risks and opportunities associated with climate change.
Commenting on the move, AIST chief executive Fiona Reynolds said a similar survey conducted last year had generated aggregated results which had given a good indication of how funds were progressing on climate change capability.
She said this year’s survey had been expanded and would give leaders an opportunity to show themselves as a top quartile fund in the critical area of climate change.
Reynolds said that for the first time people would be able to see if their super fund was one of the top performers.
